On May 14 and 15, 2001, the Video Viewpoints program at MoMA
continues its tradition of inviting mediamakers to show and
talk about their latest projects. This month, three artists
join us to discuss their new work.
On Monday, May 14, at 6:00 p.m., Seth Price and Laura Parnes
join us. Price premieres three projects. "Industrial Synth"
(20 min.) is a single-channel video that takes up obsolete
graphics, computer games, and consumer products to investigate
nostalgia, history, and death. "Painting Sites" (10-min. excerpt) pairs
images from the Internet with a story told in
the style of German Romantics. "New York Woman" (10 min.) appropriates
dance music from the 1950s to examine archaic recording and editing
techniques.
Parnes premieres "Hollywood Inferno" (Episode One) (40 min.),
a two-channel work set in the nightmarish world of suburbia. Dante - of
Dante's Inferno - has metamorphosed into an
eighteen-year-old candy store clerk. Virgil - the Roman
writer - now works in Hollywood. Saccharine music, ersatz beauty, and
the usual cultural production make this a hell
of a life. The mini-feature includes Nina Marie Gardner,
Alissa Bennett, Kel O'Neil, and Guy Richards Smit, with
special effects by Christian Perez.
On Tuesday, May 15, at 6:00 p.m., Chicago-based artist Iñigo
Manglano-Ovale, who interprets inter-personal relations
through architectural forms, presents his new projects.
"Le Baiser/The Kiss" (1999) follows a window washer squeegee-ing
the windows of an elegant Mies van der Rohe home. "Search/En
Busquedad" (2002), produced for the inSITE festival in Tijuana,
Mexico, turns the Plaza Monumental bullring into a
functioning radio telescope. He will show also a work-in-
progress shot at van der Rohe's New National Gallery
building in Berlin.
Both screenings will take place in the Titus 2 auditorium.
Video Viewpoints was organized by Barbara London, Associate
Curator, Department of Film and Video.
